4:27 Limejuice won me my tournament this past weekend with doffy, where they had 2 boa blockers that I reduced with 2 otamas (one otama for each boa), then played 2 lime juice to secure the win. Limejuice actually comes in handy in some matchups!
Well, I am playing Marco in Op09 and let me tell you, Beckman is a godsend. I wanted to play Shanks at first but I just bounce back to Marco whenever there's something out of my removal range that I would've easily removed with Marco. Just a shame Hongo is Leader-locked...
@@TheEgman Currently I am testing using op09 schachi and penguin in combination with seaquake to be able to remove at least 7k threats during bb leader effect, but sadly they are in easy removal range so that rarely works out.
As mentioned in the video, that's what makes the deck building so difficult for this. There are very few consistency tools but if you find everything on curve you're unstoppable. So it's a lot of personal balance for deck building.
thoughts on ST Whitebeard for the deck at 2? Also when building my deck I was having a hard time deciding between guard point or radical beam. Guard point is nice vs doffy since you can 8k counter the 7k attack and save ability for another body/or removal. Also helps keep cards like limejuice or honga alive against 5ks in doffy while saving ability for something else.
you can definitely run it AND the activate main does work around BB leader ability. Good for the Doffy matchup but sometimes clunky in hand when we want to run so many other non-counter high end cards.
@TheEgman it would basically just replace beckman during the turn for certain matchups which is why I would just run it at 2. Still have no clue what events to run though. Guard Point, Radical Beam, Fire Fist, and Red Hawk are all good options. Might even opt for the 1c searcher event for some more consistency in getting shanks or beckman late game.
For the brothers and sisters do you think running OP04-013 pell over 5c marco is a comparable swap? I know its not as sticky as marco but it does still bounce a 3k or less
Shanks usually drops by luffy. I agree with the purple leaders, but, this doesn't reflect the strength he has into BY, BY struggles into Shanks. Purple is Shanks biggest weakness, them ramping to their big bodies faster than we can, hurts.
Would you suggest going 1st or 2nd against them as a Doffy player? I usually let them go first because the only play I fear is lucky roux - rayleigh - shanks rush on curve, even though it might mean i don't attack on my second turn sometimes
I usually like going 2nd as shanks AND it allows us to attack in the body they played off their leader effect. Only issue with Luffy is that it gets bounced by Law, so most of the time I just stack 4 on leader to confirm remove the card they just played.
@TheEgman I might be crazy but I meant to play 1c event searcher along side uta for extra searches I have a control list that it works pretty well in, I can send you it if you're interested?
@TheEgman I was more talking about using 1c event searcher with uta in a control build, it's gone pretty well for me so far I have a list I can share with you if you're interested?
@@TheEgman sure the list is: 1xOP09-001 4xOP01-006 4xOP08-118 4xOP09-002 4xOP09-004 3xOP09-005 2xOP09-008 3xOP09-009 4xOP09-011 4xOP09-013 3xOP09-014 4xOP09-015 4xST15-002 3xOP04-016 4xOP09-020 The list holds the same principles as an MTG control deck - remove and control till late where you win back tempo/board control I'd love to know what you think
@@TheEgman hard to have a solid build for it at all there couple promos that jp has that have them in their toppings and for op10 there couple new cards from that set for it its kind of the buggy situation its a super hard rogue deck until we get the promos in NA
I really can't decide if I want to play this, purple luffy, or soldier on with B/Y luffy for OP-09. This looks super fun, though. What is everybody else thinking? Hahahahaa
I never came so fast for a guy before
It happens.. if you don’t want to come too fast, just think of Foxy
I suppose this is better then hate comments haha
Why don’t you run a st whitebeard?😊
It’s not a bad choice but generally too clunky with no counter in my experience. Don’t let me stop you from playing it though!
Ay yoooo
So if it's turn 2 and the enemy leader attacks for 5K, Shanks can just reduce the enemy leader to 4K to negate?
Yes

oh yeah, Limejuice IS good, I was more so saying I didn't think Hongo was going to be as good as it was until I started playing.
any tip againts doffy as shanks? atm im 50/50 againts doffy in my locals

Come here.marco Brother 🫂
I hope I'm wrong about Marco being Viable into OP09, it just seems like Teach is a REALLY uphill battle. If I'm wrong I rejoice though haha

Only 3 Silvers and 3 Dragon is daring since you really need to hard draw them in specific matchups

12:55 meanwhile, BB cost 10 blocker exists lol

Not if they run raigos it starts getting harder for shanks cause they KO the 10 cost
Shanks is for sure favored into Pluffy
I think luffy is favored into shanks
The only time I’ve ever lose to pluffy is when the ramping back to back Luffytaro. Once shanks gets to late game there’s no issue beating pluffy
Is shanks leader ability only on your opponent’s turn?
Correct, only on opponent’s turn.
You mentioned smoker a few videos ago, do you know if there is a viable decklist in 09
Yeah! Check our the one that topped my recent OP09 tournament: egmanevents.com/one-piece-op09/egman-events-op09-triple-win-a-box
Glad to see another doesn't run Yasopp in shanks. He's way better in rp luffy

control shanks is good too in this meta?
If it’s good I just haven’t found a list I’m confident in. Just a little too clunky to get removal with him consistently from my experience.
No one talking about the 1c event searcher for red hair pirates
It's pretty decent in the control version and adds consistency
I think the uta is almost strictly better BUT I can see it being nice if you lean more on the 5 cost marco.

No tc recap video today?
Lists are on the website, but it being the last weekend of OP08.5 I decided to not make a video on it.
Waiting for the Lim video 😃
Likely won't talk about Lim until we get closer to OP10, I just don't have a solid build for it.
